However the number shows as a 1966 on https://www.motorcheck.ie/free-car-check/4507zu/ so it may have been imported used from the UK in 1974 and re-registered with the next available Dublin number. -- Last edit: 2017-12-03 01:27:53

Probably UK-built as I don't think Dublin built Travellers - only 2 and 4 door saloons and occasionally Convertibles; also Dublin-builds had body colour grilles, not cream. So will run with 1966 plate info date, plus suggestion from other plate site that it has 1098cc.
